Abstract:
A fulfilling communication between healthcare professionals and patients is important during medical interviews, especially when asking sex-life-related questions in compliance with TERMS® (Thalidomide Education and Risk Management System) and RevMate® (procedures for proper management of Revlimid® (lenalidomide) and Pomalyst® (pomalidomide)). Educational systems for improving medical communications related to sexual issues remain to be developed. Therefore, we surveyed real views of healthcare professionals and patients involved in thalidomide treatment. We created an educational DVD and a side reader to improve medical communications under the aid from Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED).
